Thyroid Graves Disease: Anyone else?

Thank you for responding, the article you shared was very helpful. My doctor focused on the tachycardia, but I really feel it is heat induced. My heart rate was 150 last spring just pulling weeds in my yard. No exertion. Initially it occurred when riding my bike a couple years ago.
They haven’t found a cardiac explanation as yet, an electrophysiologist said it could be deconditioning or dehydration. It started when I was in better shape than I had been in quite awhile. Before that I could ride 45 miles a day without symptoms. Thanks again! Diane

Bless your heart. I empathize. I have both Graves Disease (Hyperthyroidism) and Hashimotos (Hypothyroidism). I am on methamazole 5 mg daily and it has helped. I alternate between being hypo and hyper. My hands and feet can be cold...........then I'm burning up. I am very heat intolerate to the hot summer months. I have palpitations when I am in a flare, extreme fatigue and it also has promoted arthritis almost all over. I can feel "edgy" for no reason. Thyroid is very hard to treat and you have to get an ultrasound of your thyroid and bloodwork regularly to stay on top of it and have a very good Endocrinologist that will listen. God Bless.
